Welcome to what I hope will be a very brief tutorial on how to fill out your application online
for Endicott College Van Loan School of Graduate and Professional Studies.
While there are a million reasons to come to Endicott, I can think of two very important ones
That would involve completing our online application.
One is that yo uare interested in becoming a fully accepted student in one of our programs
The other is that maybe you are just interested in taking a class to test it out and see if a program is right for you.
Either way the first thing you want to do is go to www.endicott.edu
On the lefthand side click "Van Loan School"
Once you're on the Van Loan page, scroll down and on the right you want to select "Admissions and Registration"
And when this screen pops up. if you happen to be a traditional day student listening to this video, you'll want to click the link
rght here to apply to the traditional day program.
Otherwise, if you are a graduate student or an adult undergraduate student, you want to go right here to "Apply Online".
Now if this is the first time you are using the system you want to go to the line that says "To establish a new contact please click here"
When you click there, it gives you the option of establishing your username and password.
Now I have already been in the system so I am going to enter my name - or rather, my fake name
Which is Sally Sample. It is important to remember that whatever password you choose is case sensitive.
Make sure you write that down somewhere safe.
Now I am going to tell good old Explorer not to remember my password.
Alright, so this is walking you through some of the important notices of what needs to be done in order to apply.
Anytime you have questions, you can feel free to contact the Admissions Office, this page also talks about how to register.
It also provides you a checklist of what information you will complete over the course of this application.
We start with biographical information, your program, previous education, additional information,
a signature to make your application official and the payment of your application fee.
Please make sure to read this information completely before you begin.
And to get my self started I will click on "Biographical Information"
and since I have not entered all of this information, hopefully this will give you an idea of just abouthow long it will take you
to fill this out. Hopefully we will be under the ten minute mark!
So I am going to make up a fictitious address and you will notice an asterisk next to several items. These fields are required.
If you are anything like me, sometimes I like to skip around on these forms and it ends up not working in my favor
because I get stopped (endearing laughter) when I go to submit something.
So I am using the fake "555" phone number. If you are able to provide with a secondary phone number and email
It gives us more options to get in touch with you should your Endicott email not work or we need to contact you for any other purpose.
Here you will see that Social Security number is optional on this form.
If you want to apply for Financial Aid, we will eventually ask you to share you Social Secuirty number but it is optional here.
Here my birthday information is already loaded in the system.
Next you will see some optional race information you can share as well as citizenship.
To keep things simple for the moment I will keep it as United States and you can see the options for Resident Alien and Non-Resident
As well as visa options.
I am going to keep Sally as female and the start semester is Spring 2014.
This is a very important one - How did you hear about the Van Loan School?
I will say that I heard about Van Loan through a flyer.
Make sure you scroll through all the options. It really does help us reach out to other students and helps us get you some great
classmates to work with!
Here I am going to click "Save Biographical Information" and it will take us back to this screen.
You can scroll down (cough) Excuse me. And see that the status is that I have finished that section.
Next I will select program preferences.
It says here to review the information on the screen and will have a chance to change your selections throughout the application process
If you are satisfied click "Confirm" if you are not satisfied click "Re-select"
I am going to choose "Re-Select Program Preferences"
You'll see here there is a drop dowm menu that gives you the options for your Major/Degree.
I am going to say that Sally would like a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN). And then hit "select"
Excellent. That is my choice so I will hit "Confirm"
Now under the Nursing program you are given concentration options. Is it Nursing or Nursing (more endearing laughter).
I will select Nursing. Depending on which Bachelors or Masters program you are
applying to, you might have a number of options in that menu. Make sure to choose the one that applies to you.
I will hit "Select Concentration"
It is now asking which is the next most important piece of information to you.
Is it the location where the classes are held or is it the delivery method.
Keep in mind that many of our programs are offered online as well as in the classroom.
For this example I am going to choose "Delivery Method" and hit "Select Next Preference"
For nursing, I am going to say that I would like "In Class". You can see from the drop down menu that in class is the only option.
I will confirm the delivery method.
For my location, I will keep in Bevely but i nthe drop down menu you can see we offer this program in Greenfield as well as Lawrence.
Then hit "Select Location"
Here it is showing me the selctions I have made.
The degree is Bachelor of Science
Major nursing, concentration nursing, in Beverly, using the classroom delivery.
Now I will select "Confirm Program Preferences"
This takes us back to our main page and shows us our status.
